Yeah, Jeff is working on them - not enough people to plow through them quickly and he's also trying to get the 3.9 release rolled up. Overall I think they're concentrating on fixes and improvements over dusting off the demos, especially since the 4.0 release would require some relatively large organizational changes to accommodate the new module system. You could always drop a line and ask for an update.

"Your job is not to die for your country. Your job is to make some other S.O.B. die for his."

Yep, the plan is for them to go out when 3.9 is fully released. We're wrapping up any issues that really annoy us and then 3.9 will be put up as a Release Candidate, and I plan to take that time to put a wrap on the demos.

That said, the pacific demo content has been out for a while now, and can be grabbed off the wiki, here:
